The following guide shows how to install AMPlayer on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android devices.
AMPlayer is a free video player built for Android-powered streaming devices that pairs with streaming apps like Movie HD for an improved experience.
This works like MX Player for those familiar with that app. It’s also one of the lightest video players available and handles all common formats without any extra setup.
AMPlayer can be installed on most streaming devices including Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV boxes, tablets, phones, and more.
While this app is available in the Google Play Store, you must side-load AMPlayer on Fire TV devices since it isn’t listed in the Amazon App Store.

AMPlayer Features & Details
AMPlayer is a free, lightweight video player at just 12 MB, making it a good fit for older or budget streaming devices.
It supports common formats like MKV, MP4, and AVI, and includes gesture controls for volume and brightness adjustments. The app can also stream videos directly from URLs and handles online subtitle detection automatically.
Final Thoughts from Troy
AMPlayer is a solid pick if you want a lightweight external video player for your Fire TV or Android TV device without the bloat that comes with larger apps.
It won’t replace VLC or MX Player for users who need deep codec support or advanced features. But for playback with third-party apps like Movie HD it is a must.
